When selecting a search firm, it is important for a client to have a full understanding of the services to be provided. Make sure you know what process is going to be used for the search and who will actually be the manager for your particular search effort. Discuss where candidates will come from, screening criteria, and the forms of communication the firm uses. Finally, make sure you understand the limits of your agreement – what happens if something changes mid-stream, what is the contingency plan?

Here is what our clients expect of us

Professionalism

Sale Starter clients are assured a special commitment to professionalism and a unique level of integrity. We represent the client, as well as the candidate’s interest to the position, in a professional and ethical manner with complete confidentiality.

Capability

It is well known in our industry that the number of offices or consultants an executive search consulting firm has does not necessarily impact on the ability to handle a search assignment successfully. We are a single-office firm which operates on a national scale.

What is more important than size is the overall capability of the firm to provide the resources needed by its professionals to research and identify the best possible candidates. The most critical factor is an effective working relationship and clear communication throughout the process.

Shared Responsibility

Within the process there are responsibilities to enable the consulting relationship to be successful. Among them are:

• The client knowing in detail what services are being performed,
  
• Maintaining a focus with regard to the scope of the project,
  
• Clearly explaining expectations for the search effort,
  
• Making sure the search consultant has enough information to fully understand the duties of the position and qualifications required
